President Hassan Rouhani backed a plan by European countries to bolster the 2015 nuclear deal, which the U.S. withdrew from last year.
President Hassan Rouhani said Wednesday that Iran supports a plan by European countries to bolster a nuclear deal that Tehran reached with the West in 2015 and from which the United States withdrew last year.
Speaking during a weekly Cabinet meeting, Rouhani said: “We agree with the general framework by the Europeans.” France, Britain and Germany had urged Tehran to enter talks about a new arrangement on the nuclear deal. He said the plan could have been discussed during his New York visit last week to attend the U.N. General Assembly but that Trump scuppered chances by openly threatening to impose more sanctions.
Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif told state TV later Wednesday that even though Macron’s four-point plan did not include Iran’s views, “it is necessary that negotiations continue in an accurate way. We will continue the communications.”Without elaboration, Zarif said Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is applying efforts, too.
